Light Correa pulchellaSole pieno
The Correa pulchella should be preferably located in a place where it can have at least a few hours a day of direct solar light. When the minimum temperatures are very low we can protec the more sensible brushes by covering their roots with dry leaves or straw.The Correa pulchella can't stand cold weather, therefore in general it should be grown in a sheltered place; during the Spring months, when the minimum temperatures are above zero, it can be moved outside.

Cultivation Correa pulchella
The development of the the Correa pulchella is erect; in genereral in the lower part they have a pretty bare stem, while p many ramifications develop towards the top. Correa pulchella Is an evergreen; during winter iIt assumes a red colouring; the adult specimens are small in size and reach 90 cm high. These plants are shrubs.

Fertilize Correa pulchella
To obtain a florid development it is important to remember to fertilize our shrubs periodically; in the spring let’s use a fertilizer rich in nitrogen and potassium, which will favour the development of new vegetation and of flowerings. We can intervene at the end of the winter, mixing a good dose of slow release organic fertilizer to the soil surrounding our plant. During the spring it is also possible to act periodically, with liquid or powder fertilizers, to add to the water when irrigating, every 20-25 days.

Water Correa pulchellaTenere asciutto
Let's water abundantly, moistening the soil deeply with 1-2 buckets of water , but let's act only when the substratum is dry, leaving it dry even for 2-3 weeks before watering it. If we decide to grow a specimen of the Correa pulchella in a container, we should remember that it will have slightly different needs compared to a specimen grown in the ground: we should pay more attention to its water and nutritional needs and check more often for possible development of parassites.

Pests Correa pulchella
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.
